As the makeup artist for Dallas Buyers Club, Robin Mathews had a daunting task. During 23 days of shooting, she had to constantly transform lead actors Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto so they appeared either deathly ill or relatively healthy. Sometimes she had to switch them back and forth five times a day. She was so skillful, she won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Her budget? A meager $250. The film was a shoestring indie production. She’s your inspirational role model for the next few weeks. You can create magic without a wealth of resources.
